Summary

Warner Girls Leadership Academy is a PK–8 school in Cleveland, OH serving 306 students at 8315 Jeffries Ave., part of the Cleveland Municipal district. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 1,324th of 1,560 Ohio schools (15th percentile, 1 star), a level it has held since at least 2015–2016, staying between the 10th and 19th percentile with 1 star every year. Among same-district PK–8 peers, Miles Park School (9th percentile, 0 stars), Albert Bushnell Hart (16th percentile, 1 star), and Miles School (2nd percentile, 0 stars) are the closest comparisons, while nearby Northstar School of Innovation & Leadership (46th percentile, 2 stars) and Cuyahoga Hts Elementary School (89th percentile, 4 stars) sit far higher.

English language arts is the school's relative strength. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency often beat the district average and usually trailed only the state average — grade 4 ELA reached 62.5%, edging just above the state's 61.8%. Upper-grade ELA also improved year over year, with grade 7 rising from 34.8% to 54.1% and grade 8 from 26.7% to 47.8%. Math, by contrast, is a major weakness: five of six tested grades fell below the district average, and grade 3 math dropped sharply from 50% to 6.1%. Grade 5 science was a severe weak spot at 4.2% proficient, versus the district's 26.7% and the state's 62.7%. Grade 8 science was comparatively better at 39.1%, above the district's 28.3% but well below the state's 61.2%.

Chronic absenteeism remains a significant headwind: 55.4% in 2025–2026, slightly above the district's 54.3% and up from 37.3% in 2023–2024. Warner spends more per pupil ($14,244 in 2018–2019) than most nearby same-district and charter peers, with a 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 17, yet still posts low overall outcomes — suggesting additional resources alone have not produced broad proficiency gains. Subgroup results are mixed: Female Students (13th percentile, 1 star) and Low Socio Economic Status Students (17th percentile, 1 star) remain in the bottom fifth of Ohio schools, even as the school outperforms several of its immediate same-district peers overall.
